“As the owner of a veterinary clinic and having worked in multiple large hospitals and institutions as a boarded surgeon, I had noticed that the sterile caps used to protect the IV lines of patients on fluids were often lost or contaminated multiple times during a hospital stay,” said an inventor, from University Park, Fla. “Every time a patient is connected and disconnected to an IV line, a sterile cap (or often a housed hypodermic needle) is used to maintain the IV fluid line and IV catheter sterility. If a patient is reconnected to their fluids, the capping device must be kept near the patient, but often is contaminated or lost. The costs begin to multiply, as well as the accumulation of medical waste. To address this issue, I invented the Needle Nest.”

The patent pending Needle Nest offers an inexpensive device to store a patient's IV line cap, preventing the need for multiple IV line caps during the pet's hospital stay. The device easily mounts to cages, kennels or to device like medical pumps, monitors, or other areas where patients are frequently connected and disconnected to their fluid line. The device keeps the caps off the floor or from falling into a cage, and it allows for the IV line to be secured when not in use to preserve sterility.
